Greetings from California. We’ve had a busy day here at the ‘happiest place on earth’. Janis & I did manage to find the time to snap one quick selfie just before we crested the hill on the runaway train of Big Thunder Mountain. Then it was back to doing research as the view towards the new Star Wars Land (still under construction) is good from that elevation and angle. Life is good.
The Photographer
Dan and Janis are headed off on a little trip this week. They left early yesterday morning and of course there were a handful of last minute preparations to make before they left. Janis had a number of errands for Dan and Dan willingly accepted each one but somehow he always seemed to get waylaid somewhere along the way. For instance; the bed needed making and (he was on his way to do it) but by the time he made down the hallway little Henry had climbed into his toy car and needed a push and they both ended up in the kitchen. And when it came time to put the bags in the car Dan dutifully rolled the suitcases outside but before he could pop them into the trunk he was magically transported to the property next door and thirty feet in the air! I’m not sure where the suitcases are but I suppose we can always blame the airline if they don’t end up at the baggage claim. :)
Beautiful roof!
This morning I took a ride up in the snorkel lift to et a bird’s eye view of the Hazelnut Inn. The colourful roof is complete save for the ridge caps on the front portion of the Copper Crown suite and looks fabulous! The rare diamond shingles were a great choice and well worth the effort to install by the Howie’s Roofing crew. Our crew was going to get back to installing the weatherproof wrap, furring strips and lath with the man lift now free. They will be installing the windows as well over the next days bringing the building closer to lockup.
